Finger-Tip Vise

I found a little Fiskars finger-tip knife and with the blade removed it holds a hook quite well. Mechanism like a jeweler's pin vise. A little hard to line up at a proper angle, however it is much easier to control than bare fingers. About 3 inches long and under 5 bucks. A cheap travel hand vise.

Hemostat, mini-vise grips, pin vise, x-acto - I have tried them all. This one is a little easier to handle since there is a place to put your finger tip and much lighter than mini vise grips (best hooks holder of the ones mentioned) A regular fly tying vise is, of course, the most practical choice for everyday use. I just wanted an alternative, simple device for my little tenkara travel kit.
